Newsmax Airs Trump Rally, Beats Mainstream Media in Ratings
From this:
Newsmax made history Friday night, beating competitor CNN in key prime-time ratings.
According to Nielsen – and first reported by Mediaite – Newsmax’s live coverage of former President Trump’s Pennsylvania rally pushed the network ahead of CNN in audience viewership.
Newsmax pulled 738,000 total viewers between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET, with an evening prime-time average of 579,000 viewers.
Laggard CNN peaked at 645,000 viewers during Anderson Cooper’s show, drawing an average audience of just 545,000 on Friday night.
The Nielsen numbers do not tell the full story. Newsmax is carried in 20 million less (sic) homes than CNN, giving it proportionately a much higher rating than its competitor.
The reader may infer that, in the absence of carrying a Trump rally live, Newsmax rivals mainstream media in ratings, which is totally untrue.
Newsmax aired a true spectacle: one of the most powerful people on Earth, the hero of tens of millions of hateful and ignorant Americans, soon to be indicted on a long list of felonies, the first former president to be tried on any charges, let alone seditious conspiracy.
And you pat yourself on the back because people tune in? Hell, sometimes I tune in, just to see how far you will carry the lunacy.
